Slightly eventful as I almost didn't make it. I was walking across from Gateshead, when I found a guy lying face down on a set of concrete steps. Fearing the worst and thinking I had to do something, I went over to him, turns out he was just having a nap!

I continued walking across the Tyne and made my way to Pet's Corner, Jesmond Dene where I met Rob, Aimee and Max, and the task owner, Mike.

Well done to Aimee, for completing a new parkrun this morning (Denton Dene) and also reaching 250 good deeds (unofficial milestone) on Monday. Continuing with milestones, I realised that this is my 80th GoodGym report!

Urban Green is always one of my favourite tasks as there is something for everyone, and if you've met Mike, you will know how much of a legend he is. Literally knows everything about gardening and tools, and also gave us a bonus History lesson!

We had a lovely morning clearing a path, part of Jesmond Dene parkrun, cutting back anything that had overgrown and also path edging. We stopped halfway to have tea, coffee and biscuits which is always appreciated.

Jesmond Dene is a beautiful park, and well use. It was great that lots of people stopped to say good morning and thank you. Mike came behind with a leaf blower to clear up everything that we had cut back and the difference was huge.

Come along and join us with a lovely painting task in Hodgkin Park tomorrow and on Monday, as we help the Ouseburn Trust.
